- Our Batter is Better!

July 31, 2008

I just received this email below from the organizers of the B.I.I.A. Pancake Breakfast. We love bringing people together and that is what pancakes do - pancakes are a communal food for the most part because who eats pancakes alone? No one is having "Cereal Breakfasts" for fund-raisers, but pancakes it's very different - people come together over pancakes.

Here's the kind comments that the organizers just sent over and Daddy Cakes® is proud to have been part of this fine community event. It was so successful that the organizers are putting on another one in August and this time they insisted that they purchase the Daddy Cakes® mixes.

We would like to thank Daddy Cakes and Dan Byers for making our annual Pancake Breakfast a huge success. It was our first time for us to oversee the annual Pancake Breakfast and Jim and I were very nervous. We wanted to make sure everything went smooth and people were well feed. Dan stepped in and not only supplied us with pancake mix but also decorated and helped man the grills. Everything went great. We had delicious pancakes and the guests all had a wonderful time. In fact, we broke the previous attendance record of 275 meals served. We served a grand total of 344 breakfasts which was 69 more than before with complete ease. It was a wonderful time for all.....Thanks Daddy Cakes!Sincerely,Jim and Sandy Lindberg

Dan and Levi,I thought I would share our photos of my son Ryan and I getting ready to eat your wonderful Daddy Cakes. My son Ryan and I enjoyed making and eating your yummy Daddy Cakes! The flavor and texture was excellent.

Phil is holding a case of Daddy Cakes® that he got to share with his family, friends and fellow employees at Quest Software. It's great how Ryan's eyes are all red before he eats Daddy Cakes® and then he looks like an angel after he eats....he must have been eating our Sinful Cinnamon.

My wife and I spent a weekend away from our two boys which was the first weekend away in nearly 8 years. We have only been away for 1 night at a time, and only twice........so to have two nights away was very nice. That being said, we still talked about our kids at least 80% of the time, the remaining 20% was really wonderful to be able to be relaxed and just hang out together.

We elected to spend our time in the Palm Springs area and on the way home we had to make a stop at Hadley's Orchard for their world famous "Date Shake" and thought we would find something to bring home a suvenyor for our boys. We were striking out and then we found it; an Ostrich Egg.

The store gave us great instructions on how to "Drill the Egg" and empty it so the boys get to keep a really cool shell for a show and tell at school this year. We had some of the neighbors over for "Daddy Cakes and Ostrich Eggs" and fun was had by all - (except for the egg). We had 4 flavors of pancakes, but we only needed 1 egg (it was nearly 1 quart on its own).

Everyone left with full bellies, a great experience, and a memory that will last for a long time. If you ever find yourself around an ostrich that has an extra egg, see if you can get it - that would be a much better story. (By the way kids....don't drink eggs when they are raw:)

Farm to Market in San Juan Capistrano is a really cool specialty market. Not only is their produce gorgeous, but all of the brightly colored vintage farm tractors and equipment on display really cool. They like to keep their stock of Daddy Cakes® right at the register which makes me so happy it nearly brings a tear to my eyes.

So we stopped by to see how things were going at the Five Sweets Cupcakes today and their shelves were all but cleared of Daddy Cakes mixes. They have just started carrying the Daddy Cakes mixes about 5 weeks ago and this is reportedly one of their slowest times of the year, but the Daddy Cakes is flying off of their shelves.

If you don't know about "Comic Con", well I think there is probably only about 5 people that have that in common with you. I have been to many conventions, for many different industries, and never have I been to a convention with so many people, robots, Storm Troopers, and aliens. Comic Con is huge and very well attended by pretty much any Super Hero you can imagine and some that are just now being created. We have finally decided to allow our son to see the first "Star Wars - The New Hope". He seemingly already knows all about it because the kids talk about it so much at school, so I decided to give him an extra special surprise take him to see the real deal at Comic Con and to introduce him to the world of comic books. It was a great day. He got to hold a Storm Troopers gun, punch the Hulk in the stomach, see space ships, and so much more - afterward we cuddled up together on our couch and watched the movie on DVD. We had fun and he has now seen the movie like at least 3 times since. It is going to be so much fun to do this with both of my boys once my youngest one is old enough.

Family has always been important to us. So when people started telling us that we made better baked goods that worked great for todays generation and that were easier for active families - everything around here got really exciting!
